BBC Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel: Jo Brand’s life from breaking into ex’s house to take revenge, her wild youth and her TikTok famous daughter

Jo Brand has been a big part of the UK comedy scene for decades, regularly appearing on panel shows and selling out stand-up tours since the 90s.

The South London comedian has four British comedy awards to her name including best stand up in 1995 and twice winning best female TV comedian in 2010 and 2012.

Away from comedy though, Jo has been happily married for 24 years, but she hasn’t always had the best luck in love and recalled one particular fiery revenge plan she hatched against an ex, reports the Mirror.
